Surge in Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAIs) Driving Market Growth
The global rise in hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) is one of the major factors fueling the disposable medical gloves market. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 10 out of every 100 patients in developing countries and seven out of every 100 patients in developed nations suffer from HAIs. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also reports around 1.7 million cases and over 99,000 deaths annually in U.S. hospitals linked to HAIs. These alarming figures have increased the adoption of disposable gloves to prevent cross-contamination and safeguard both healthcare practitioners and patients.
Common HAIs include surgical infections, urinary tract infections, pulmonary infections, and bloodstream infections. The American Hospital Association highlights that post-surgery bloodstream infections have risen by 8%, while catheter-related urinary tract infections have grown by 3.6%. The need for effective infection prevention measures has consequently amplified the use of disposable gloves in hospitals and clinics worldwide.
Rising Concerns About Hygiene and Safety Boosting Demand
In recent years, there has been a substantial rise in awareness regarding personal hygiene and safety, driving glove consumption across healthcare, foodservice, and sanitation sectors. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned powdered surgeon and patient examination gloves in December 2016 due to the associated risk of injury and contamination. Furthermore, updated guidelines from the CDC, European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), and WHO have reinforced the importance of proper glove usage during medical procedures involving exposure to bodily fluids or contact with non-intact skin.
Stringent regulatory oversight and hygiene mandates are playing a critical role in shaping market dynamics. The U.S. FDA's enforcement policies during public health emergencies have also helped expand glove availability, supporting market resilience during the COVID-19 crisis.

North America to Dominate the Global Market
North America is projected to hold a major share of the global disposable medical gloves market owing to its strong healthcare infrastructure, high hygiene standards, and robust regulatory frameworks. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), gloves used in food handling must comply with Title 21, Part 177 of the Code of Federal Regulations, ensuring safe materials and manufacturing standards.
The region's market is further driven by the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, increasing hospital admissions, and growing awareness of infection control practices. The outbreak of contagious diseases such as COVID-19 and swine flu has heightened the demand for disposable surgical gloves, prompting manufacturers to boost production and distribution capabilities.
Europe Led by the Netherlands in Glove Consumption
Europe represents the second-largest regional market, supported by high glove usage across countries such as Germany, Italy, France, and Spain. According to Hartalega Holdings Bhd, the Netherlands leads Europe in per capita glove consumption, averaging 276 gloves per person, followed by Denmark (259) and Germany (208). Increasing demand for advanced glove materials and heightened hygiene regulations continue to propel market growth across the region.

Nitrile Gloves to Witness the Fastest Growth
By material type, the nitrile gloves segment is anticipated to record the fastest growth through 2033. Nitrile gloves, made from synthetic rubber, offer superior resistance to punctures, chemicals, and pathogens, making them ideal for medical and laboratory applications. The growing prevalence of latex allergies has further accelerated the shift from latex to nitrile gloves among healthcare professionals.
Hospitals Remain the Largest End-User Segment
Hospitals dominate the end-user segment of the disposable medical gloves market due to their extensive use in surgeries, examinations, and infection prevention practices. The increasing incidence of HAIs, coupled with the expansion of hospital networks globally, is boosting glove consumption. According to the American Hospital Association (AHA), the number of hospitals in the U.S. grew by approximately 700 in 2019, including 400 community hospitals. Strategic collaborations between glove manufacturers and healthcare facilities are also strengthening market presence.
